If you’re an American citizen, the Ryder Cup gave you a whole lot to cheer about this weekend.
Golf’s biennial showdown between the United States and Europe was filled with awesome moments on both sides, from Rory McIlroy giving it to the Hazeltine crowd (and the crowd giving it right back to him) to Patrick Reed’s incredible showmanship.
The final result was the first U.S. championship since 2008, which certainly was cause for celebration for Team USA. So, the American golfers all grabbed their wives and significant others for a celebratory smooch, which produced the following photo:
Seems like a lovely photograph, right? Let’s enhance:
That’s Team USA golfer Rickie Fowler, who was left with no one to kiss but had the perfect reaction to his predicament.
Fortunately, Twitter had Fowler’s back.
Don't worry @RickieFowler, all of America loves you. 😘 pic.twitter.com/4Teh1MkxJh

The 27-year-old golfer may not have a significant other, but he helped produce one of the best celebration photos we’ve seen in recent memory, and for that, we thank you, Ricky.
